My W212

Hi, a reading of 1609343 km was shown in "Current Main Odometer Reading" (see pic), is the iCarsoft faulty or other problems?

The scanner is MB v3, and the path is:
1. Select - Control Unit
2. Select - EZS Electronic Ignition Lock (N73)
3. Select - View Data
4. Select - Last Stored Main Odometer Reading

Any ideas or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

What is the difference?

Likely more than a Million km.

At exactly this value the EZS will stop synchronise with the Instrument Cluster.

This way, if a young guy need to manipulate the mileage into the IC, will set this 1,6mil value in EZS and after that the IC will accept any value.

Normally, the system always choose the greatest value between IC and EZS, so this solution is very simple if needed. Is like a bug of EZS.


Also, the 1,6mil can be just a mistake reading of the Diag system.

Wow, highest mileage 212 ever? Someone must have changed that, do you have a new gauge cluster maybe?

My W212

Actual mileage is less than 120k for now. But the reading is 1.6 million km....

But how do you know?

My W212

Thanks for the advice. I am suspecting the previous owner has manipulated the actual mileage. Will try to gather more information (perhaps from the dealership) to see if any clue.

My W212

You are right. I will try to ask the dealership to see if any information to prove the actual mileage.

My W212

Could someone have an iCarsoft kindly do the same scan (path in post #1) and tell if any different between the IC and EZS?

I can try later today, patio table set assembly this morning for youngest daughter, I'll be home by 2 and will check.

Thanks!

Ok, mine, on my '12 is spot on to the odometer reading, I don't see a way to change it with my Icarsoft 2. I do the updates once a year though, at a friends with a PC so did the update in February, I'm on Apple.

I will scan the '13 when it gets home.

Also, interesting update, when my wife got home with the '13, I scanned that too, IC and EZS were off by 3.2 miles! That is exactly the distance home from where she works! WTF? Maybe it updated her drive to school, but did not update for the ride home? I will check again later to see if it has "synced up" certainly not off by your amount, but off none the less, weird.
